I am thrilled to announce that I have just completed my first ever published knitting pattern book for 18" dolls

Seasonal Hand Knitted Designs for 18" Dolls

Fall/Winter Volume ~ A five collection series

Deciding to put together a book of my patterns for 18" dolls seemed the next evolutionary step to make from my individual patterns that are currently available in pdf format.

As challenging as it was in getting this together, with much frustration trying to get the word document to accept my format, along with a few computer glitches, I am delighted beyond words with the results, so much so that I have already embarked on the second book in this series, which will feature knitting designs from my spring/summer collection.

In the meantime I wait with great excitement for next week when I will receive my proof copy, once thoroughly checked I then will issue the okay to put into production.

The Christmas Collection was born out of the desire to fashion holiday ensembles for a craft show I will be attending near the holidays. Inspired by the classic holiday movie, ‘White Christmas’ starring Bing Crosby, I created this festive set all featuring the use of faux fur trim, and all designed to coordinate with each other for complete ensembles.~ Debonair Designs

Pattern Note: Worked flat, back and forth in rows

Construction:Written out with line-by-line instructions given, including faux fur placement, Coat worked bottom up in one piece then each section is worked individually, hood created from picked up stitches along with a collar option worked in the same manner, Cloak/Capelet worked top down with gradual shaping. Both the skirt and matching top worked from the bottom up.

The Sienna Collection was born out of the desire to have various patterns working together for a complete outfit. This versatile collection comes with variations added, including working a longer version of Cabana to create a dress version, which when paired with the jacket, gives a whole new ensemble that’s perfect for the Fall season, my favorite time of the year.~ Debonair Designs

Elisabeth (pictured) was so excited to be chosen
to model my second design, aNeapolitan Bridesmaid, but when the day arrived she became quite nervous, so I asked her best
friend Jessica to accompany her down the isle.

When it came time for Elisabeth to walk down the aisle, she was feeling so pretty in her outfit that she forgot all about her nerves, and happily strolled the walkway admiring the pretty petals.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did in creating it, please pass on your vote here, my first design is already posted, and this second design will appear soon, thank you for looking ~ Deb
